Had a wonderfully lazy Saturday yesterday. Did a downtown Toronto walkabout in the morning, dropped by The Running Room at Yonge and Wellington, bought a hat and a neoprene belt that would hold my water, camera, and Walkman so I won't have to keep borrowing Jeff's cycling backpack every time I go running. Went to a restaurant in BCE place for breakfast, had a decadent plate of Belgian waffles with strawberries and maple syrup and whipped cream, finished Tami Hoag's Dust to Dust (a fast mystery/suspense read), read some more The Discovery of Poetry by Frances Mayes, did some people-watching. 
As I get older, I come to value solitude more and more. Not sure why this is, exactly. I enjoy hanging out with Jeff, with friends, with family...but I start going nuts if I don't get regular time by myself, apart from work. This is another great thing about running, I'm finding; I can do it anywhere, outside of the crowded gym. I've never been a social exerciser, really. I'll do it from time to time (Larkin & I used to go to aerobics class together when I lived in Orangeville), but I tend to prefer being antisocial when it comes to working out. The people at The Running Club were encouraging me to come out with their beginners' running club, but I think I'll stick to being antisocial for now. :-) 
TODAY'S POLL: 
In the afternoon, Jeff and I drove up to Orangeville and had lunch at my mom-in-law's newly re-opened restaurant, then hung out at her house afterward. I read my book on a recliner chair in the deck and fell asleep in the sun. So did Jeff. A very relaxing weekend. :-) Tomorrow, I plunge back into CCRA audit research.
